“…Another study by Yousry and Malik et al also found the number of male patients were more common than women by a ratio of respectively 3.5:1 and 2:1. Another study by Rahman A et al 3 reported male and female ratio of 1.6:1, while Venugopal M et al 10 had ratio of 1.9:1, but Sajid et al get the opposite result with the ratio of men compared to women is 1:4. [5][6][7] From the 32 patients with paranasal sinus disease, 13 (40.6%) of them were due to sinusitis, mostly of maxillary sinus origin (10 cases), 6 (18.75%) cases were of sinonasal malignancy, all of which were histopathologically confirmed to be squamous cell carcinoma of maxillary sinus, 6 (18.75%) cases were of mucoceles from frontoethmoidal origin, 4 (12.50%) cases were of fibrous dysplasia of maxillary sinus, 2 (6.25%) case was of schwannoma of frontal sinus origin and 1 (3.12%) case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis of maxillary sinus.…”

“…About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls. 3 Orbital wall was related to the superior with frontal sinus floor to the medial with lateral wall of the ethmoid sinus to the inferior with the roof of the maxillary sinus and to the posteromedial with anterolateral wall of the sphenoid sinus. In addition, the frontal sinus floor and the lateral wall of the ethmoid sinus walls were thin, so that it has a weak resistance against a mass or an inflammatory process.…”

BACKGROUND The close proximity of the orbit and the paranasal sinuses, both of which share more than two-thirds of common walls makes the orbit too susceptible to infections spreading from the paranasal sinuses. In any case of proptosis indicating an orbital tumour, extension from a PNS lesion should be ruled out. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was a retrospective descriptive study. Data taken from the patient's medical record during the period of July 2014-June 2017. A total of 32 cases of proptosis were studied all of which were secondary to paranasal sinus pathology. These cases were subject to routine clinical examination and investigations including CT and MRI scan. Histopathological diagnosis was obtained by biopsy in appropriate cases.

“…4 In a study, which looked at orbital complications specifically of diseases of paranasal sinuses, most (67.7%) common ophthalmological presentation was proptosis. 6 Among fifty-four cases of nasal and paranasal sinus diseases invading the orbit, initial clinical presentation was proptosis in 66.66%, of patients 15 while another study reported a rate of 44.73%. 16 Primary ENT disorders especially of sinonasal origin presenting as proptosis has been studied in detail by several researchers.…”

“…5 Diseases of the paranasal sinuses can present solely with ophthalmological symptoms. 6 If left untreated, rhinosinusitis can rarely cause serious complications like irreversible blindness and delayed admission after onset of orbital symptoms have a higher risk of poor outcome. Hence these patients deserve prompt evaluation and early surgical intervention to prevent blindness.…”

Introduction Ophthalmological symptoms are common in ear, nose and throat conditions. Orbital involvement and ophthalmological presentations may be indicative of the extensive and aggressive nature of the pathology. This study evaluated the causes of various ophthalmological presentations in relation to primary ENT diseases in patients attending the ENT Department of a government tertiary referral teaching hospital. Material and Methods Sixty patients with ophthalmological presentations arising out of primary ENT diseases were assessed in detail. Comprehensive physical, ophthalmological and ENT examinations were done. Ophthalmological and ENT diagnoses, treatment details, outcome and complications if any were also noted. Results Most number of patients were in the age group 51 to 60 years (14; 23.4%). Most common ophthalmological symptom was periorbital oedema (51.6%) followed by epiphora (48.3%); the most common ENT symptom was headache (50%) followed by nasal discharge (48.3%). Most common diagnosis among patients was sinusitis (46.7%) followed by mucocele (21.7%). Most common (47%) otorhinological diagnosis associated with proptosis in this study was infections in the form of orbital cellulitis or abscess associated with sinusitis. Majority (43, 71.7%) of the study sample had surgical management. Conclusion This study reiterates the need for a high index of suspicion from the part of the ophthalmologist to look beyond eye diseases as causes for ophthalmological presentations and from the part of otorhinolaryngologist to be aware of various non-ENT symptoms secondary to ear, throat and nose diseases. A close collaboration between the ophthalmology and ENT departments is essential in successful management of such patients.

“…As these sites are anatomically very close to skull base, orbit and the brain, they pose a great challenge in surgical management and hence poor outcomes. [2,3] As the clinical presentation of benign and malignant neoplasms are indistinguishable, accurate histopathological examination plays a vital role.…”

Background: Maxillary, Ethmoid, Sphenoid and Frontal sinuses constitute the paranasal sinuses. Paranasal sinus tumours are highly diverse and uncommon tumours of all head and neck neoplasms. Large clinical studies, limited to paranasal sinus (PNS) tumours, are lacking. Despite their infrequency, they represent both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Histopathological examination plays a major role in diagnosis of PNS tumours. This is a retrospective study to review the PNS tumours which were reported in an urban tertiary care hospital in South India and to highlight on some of the rare tumours occurring in this site. Materials and Methods: Histopathological sections from 67 cases of paranasal sinus tumours were studied retrospectively for a period of 3 years from April 2015 to March 2018. The spectrum of paranasal sinus tumours were analyzed in relation with age, sex and site of common occurrence. Results: The age ranged from 15 to 85 years and male:female ratio was 2:1. Most of the tumours are malignant, with benign-malignant ratio of about 1:4. Squamous cell carcinoma and its variants were predominant among malignant tumours, constituting 66% of total malignancy. Among the benign tumours, inverted papillomas were the commonest, constituting 30% of cases. Conclusions: In this study, mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the second commonest malignant tumour where as in literature Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second commonest. The age, sex and site distribution in this study correlates with literature.

Orbital Complications of The Paranasal Sinuses Disease

Abstract: Introduction:The close relationship between diseases of the paranasal sinuses system and the orbit is based on their anatomical relationship. About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls.
